For child life professionals, bereavement support teams, and medical teams, the practice of using bandage art adds a tangible touch of compassion to the care you provide. In times of stress, fear, or grief, people will often forget intangible acts of compassion. So, be sure you give them something they can see and feel to remind them of your genuine care for them.
One way to demonstrate your heartfelt care, especially when working with children, is to use our new HeartFelt Stickers. The idea for these stickers, like many of our products, came from you–the experienced child life and healthcare professional.
What’s different about HeartFelt Stickers for Child Life Teams?
HeartFelt Stickers are easy and affordable for your child life team to implement. It has taken three years to perfect our design, method for creation, and material, but we have now officially launched our CaringWisdom® answer to DIY or expensive bandage art, HeartFelt Stickers!
Made of super soft self-adhesive felt, our HeartFelt Stickers can be used in a variety of ways to add another touch of compassion to the child life care you provide. They can be used:
- As a comforting touch on hospital gowns, etc.
- To decorate dressings, casts, or bandages.
- On a baked ClayLinks® print as a comforting, tactile decoration.
- As a token for siblings or family members who are saying goodbye to, or are going to be separated from, their loved one.
- In endless other ways!
Simply remove the backing on the sticker and place where desired. That’s it.
The soft material offers a comforting tactile experience for the patient or family when they rub the heart. The stickers can even be placed on a baked ClayLinks print after a loss, if that is what the family wishes. And, best of all, they are affordable and won’t take any staff time to prepare.
I hope you’ll try them out!
Until next time,
